A PRETTY P L AIN HINT TO THE ROYAL Ae4l)El M—The House of Commons will not allow t the - Nati onal Gallery to be removed from T ra f a l gar - square hohe sit e of Burlington House. Nor can we won d er a t ta re solution. Four years ago a vote of £17,000 was hi ll , e h 0U the understanding that the pictures were to re f,---441 where they are, and buch a vote can hardly be with • i t 4t its force in the minds of men who deliberately passed There are, i n our opinion, only two availa bl e s it es i n i °"°ll- -South K ens i ng t on an d T ra f a l gar - square . A gal csq b uilt in S out h K ens i ngton m i ght b e ma d e to un it e a ll tit national treasures under one roof—the old masters and th e i:modern masters. Nowhere else can this be done—for f ril e of our best piczures of the English school have been to t bpublic on the expressed condition that they are the e xhibited there. A gallery in Trafalgar-square bas tio groat advantage of a noble site and of a central post ettti. P iccadilly, midway between the two, escapes the reetion offered by each. The modern school could not she re moved t o i t ; an d i t wou ld certa i n l y b e f ur th er f rom o e Public and from students of Art. This vote puts an o ff` te the , dream of the Academicians.

On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 175.100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.5 a per £1 sterlin , tandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 3-10ths per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 204 per cent., and the premium on gold is 663 per cent. At these rates there is a small profit on the importation of cold from the United States. 46i i THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 13, 1864. MARKETS—This Day. MAhK-LANE. The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday ruled quiet, yet no change took place in prices compared with the previous week. In spring corn a fair business was transacted at late rates. The flour trade was steady on former terms. We learn from New York that an improvement had taken place in the value of wheat and flour, and that a moderate business had been done on English account, On the Continent very little change has taken place in the value of cereal produce. Small supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 6,535 quarters of wheat, 3,750 barley, 13,170 oats, 1,089 linseed, 3,015 oilseed, 120 sundry seeds, 53 sacks and 7,897 barrels of flour. At the dose of builness the bulk of the supply had been disposed of at the full prices current on Monday last. CURRENCY PEE.

Sales progressed slowly at about stationary prices. Compared with Monday last, the arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were only moderate, but they were quite equal to the demand. From Scotland the receipts were seasonably good, viz., 462 Scots and crosses from Fifeshire and East-Lothian, and 196 from Aberdeen. The show of Irish beasts wero limited. All breeds met a dull inquiry at last week's decline in the quotations—the top figure being 4s 8d per 81bs. The quality of the stock was good. A few grass fed beasts were on offer. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,000 Scots, crosses, and shorthorns; from other parts of England, 600 various breeds; from Scotland, 658 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 80 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was seasonably good both as to num ber and quality. The mutton trade was in a sluggish state at last Monday's currency. The general top price for Downs and half-breds were 5s per 81bs. Good and prime lambs were in steady request at full prices, Interior lambs were dull at late rates. Prices ranged from 6s to 7s per Sibs. 'We have to report a slow inquiry far calves—the supply of which was moderate—at Thursday's decline in value.

The accounts at hand from the plantations to. day are more favourable, and the hop trade, generally speaking, is quiet. Good and fine English hops, however, are in fair average request at full prices ; but interior produce is dui', although without material change in value from Monday last. The imports last week amounted to three bales from Boulogne and 75 bales from New York. BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. Old potatoes—the supply of which on sale continues large—are a dull inquiry. A few superior parcels have changed hands at 60s, but the more general top quotation is 50s per ton. Inferior produce is selling as low as 20s per ton. The arrivals of new potatoes have increased ; never theless, a steady business is passing in most qualities, and prices range from 7s to 10s per cwt. The import into Lon don last week was very small. WOOL. The public sales of colonial wool wore brought to a close on Wednesday last. They opened with firmness, but in consequence of the Bank rate of discouutbeing 9 per cent. no improvement in prices was then realised. The subsequent falliin the value of money was productive of increased acti vity in the demand, leading to an advance in prices ranging from id to lid per lb. There was a good demand throughout the series, but the transactions were for the most part on French account, about 30,000 bales having changed hands for shipment to Havre and other French ports. During the progress of the sales 102,235 bales passed the hammer, consisting of 15,808 bales from New South Wales and Queensland, 42,164 Victoria, 1,732 Tas mania, 16,406 South Australia, 2,091 New Zealand, 2,078 Western Australia, 14,293 Cepa, and 663 bales from Bunchy ports. Generally speaking, the quantity and condition of the wool was excellent, and in several instances the in creased finenos and length of siaple fully compensated the buyer for the enhanced price paid.

The following letters have been addressed to the editor of the Times : Sir e —The starling Shaksperian communication in the Times of yesterday is indeed well noted by you as " wonder• ful if true," and if you had written "miraculous" for " won derful" you would hardly have been far wrong. Extraor dinary things, however, do turn up in this world, and ii is certainly within the limits of possibility that a descendant of Gilbert Shakspere is still among us. The verification of such a pedigree would beat any peerage case yet recorded, and surely your correspondent cannot, at all events, object to publish the preliminary evidence—that which is sup posed to link Shakspere's brother with an ancestor of the present George Shakspere of Wolverhampton. The pro duction of that testimony would at once enable any one ac quainted with the subject to decide whether the case were worthy of further investigation. Fewgetting up a pedi greeintahiluogosseusfotrhteoirf kind way ; ar h e a s r u dl e y as a y ny as thi ng is so difficult as the production of one of a long series of descents which can bear the test of a critical investigation. If you are bent on reaching accuracy in this pursuit — and I cannot conceive, in a literary point of view, that any name but that of Shakspere, is worth the enormous and insipid trouble—you must doubt at every step, and aim at the attainment of more than legal evidence. Tombstone and register testimonies are at best only presumptive, and identity of name is too often admitted as proof of identity of person. Suppose one of many similar instances, the rather as the uncertainty of the particular kind of evidence has been overlooked in the numerous discussions which have lately taken place on the truth of alleged cases of great longevity—Thomas Hotham, son of Richard Hotham, of Shelley, dies in 1820 at the reputed age of 100, there being the following entry in the registry :—" Thomas, son of Richard Hotham, baptised 20 June, 1720," We will suppose that the evi dence is complete, that the Thomas who was born in 1720 is tee son of the same Richard whose son Thomas died in 1820. Would NIA. Baggage himself require better evidence ? Hardly, if it did not occur to him that it frequently hap pened that a child was named after a deceased brother or sister ; so that the Thomas who died in 1820 may not have been born until 1740, the Thomas who was born in 1720 having died before the birth of that Thomas who was born in 1710 and died in 1820. I merely name this to show the risk of drawing inferences in such matters even when the oven when the evidence appears to be complete. To prove the case confided in by Mr Coleman would require a con currence of discoveries that would be literally preternatural. It I recollect rightly, there is a case something like this in the pedigree of the Shakspere family, which, in itself, sup plies another example, in respect to the member of it alluded to by your correspondent, of the extreme uncertainty atten dant on genealogical investigations. Gilbert Shakspere, the poet's brother, was born at Stratford in 1566. One Gilbert Shakspere was buried there in 1612, and it is by the merest accident, that of the term " adolescens" being appended to his name in the burial register, that the two persons have not been taken for the first and the same. It is surmised that the Gilbert Shakspere, who died in 1612, was the poet's nephew, and Malone, who had access to materials now lost, asserts (" Malone's Shakspere," ed, 1821, ii. 616) that the elder Gilbert, Shakspere's brother, certainly died before his son, Unless Mr. Coleman can bring forward certain evidence to the contrary, the probabilities are in favour of the elder Gilbert and h's issue having died before the year 1616, the great dramatist not mentioning any of them in his will ; for those who have studied the subject with any care know that the probabilities are in favour of Shaks i b uPi e et e ri n ees h p oa r ofv• son,n id g e (1 bhe foreuns a intensely ear b ff ars e a c t t uh i o ar n r e n ii Hisgn h t t h ws e iuf ge three gme satys ho a ra p v a i n one of three or four other more, or, at least, as probable ways; but brothers and sisters and their children were, comparatively and legally speaking, outsiders; and we may rest assured that any of them who were living in 1616 would hava been mentioned in the will in one way ar. other. Joan, his sister, is the only one of sisters or brothers alluded to in that document, and in a manner that suffices to prove Shakspere's affection for her. Now, so far from there•being, as Mr Coleman imagines, " no living descendant of our great poet's family ,' it George Shak spere of Wolverhampt on b e not one , there are at least a dozen, but more likely 20 or 30, persons now in existence whose descent can be traced with accuracy from Shak stet are's sister.

Wilson, Southgate-road School, De 11,111vnir-tnwn Napoleon and his Generals. 1 In the " Life of Sir W. Napier" we find the fol lowing notes of a remarkable conversation which the gallant officer had with Marshal Soult relative to Napoleon and his Generals:— " Grouchy," he said, " was not a traitor, he was unequal to his situation—that is to say, he could not command more than a few thousand men, I calculated (said Soult) the value of the French Generals by the number of men they were capable of commanding. I name nobody, but there were amongst them men who were worth 10,000 men,'who were worth 15,000, 20,000, 30,000, 45,000, or even, in case of necessity, 60,000. The art of command ing armies becomes more difficult as the num bers increase. It is very different to command 80,000, and to command 100,000. Pass 100,000, and the human mind is scarcely equal to the task. - Napoleon com mitted a great error in giving so many men to Grouchy. Ist. That General was not equal to the commnd. 2d. Ten thousand men would have been sufficient to impose on the Pi ussians. But thy Emperot'seemen at times to be cLanged ; there were moments when his genius and activity Ecemed as powerful and as fresh as ever,at other moments he seen,,ed apathetic. For example, he fought the battle of Waterlor , without having himself examined the enemy's position. He trusted to General Haxo's report. In former days he would have examined and re-examined it in person. Ney was the evil genius of the campaign : he neglected his orders at Quatre Bras, and again at Waterloo ; he attacked Wellington's position beyond 11 Haye Sainte contrary to orders, and too soon; but he is dead, he was unfortunate. I do not like to speak of his errors." Hoche. Soult knew him well. "I was with him," he said, when he died ; he was poisoned by the Directory; I thought so at the time ; I think so still." Napoleon. " Marshal Was not Napoleon the greatest genius of all the men France produced ?" "Ah I bah I yes I there was no comparison." " Was he not a good and kind man also ?" Here Soult raised his head with great eager ness, and exclaimed in an emphatic manner, " Napoleon n'a jamais perdu personne de son propre mouvement—jamais, jamais, jamais I It was necessary, when once you were known to him, to commit faults, nay, even crimes, over and over again, twenty, thirty times, before he could bring him self even to punish." Joseph. "At the battle of Ocana, Joseph was at my side, and so meek, so quiet, I could have put him in my pocket. After the battle was gained and that we had supped, instead of conversing upon the action and the war, he en tered into a violent allocution against the Emperor, and told me that he had written to him a letter which he would show me. It was menacing, urgent, insolent ; and his dis course went to sounding me upon exciting the army to resist Napoleon. I rose from my chair and addressed him thus, ' Sire, you speak and act in such a manner that you give me the right to treat you without reserve or ceremony; and, first, it is fortunate :for you that I chose to speak to you as a private person, and not as a Marshal of France. What you imagine that the eclat of such a victory of Ocana renders you so dear to the French soldiers that they will support your absurd and rash notions ? Suppose it were true : have you gained the affections also of the rest of the French army in Spain ? Are you sure of those who remain to France out of Spain ? You are wofully deceived : beware of how you try what you are thinking of, even with the army here under your orders ; it will be dangerous. And then you menace your brother I You! you menace Napoleon. Oh I Sire I you shock me." (Here Soult put himself into the attitude, and used the same gestures as he had to Joseph, and they were very striking ; he covered his eyes with one of his hands, and with the other seemed to repulse some horrid image, and his colour and looks were very animated.) " Who are you ? what are you ? who has made you ? Your brother; and you menace him ! Burn your letter, Sire, and think again" " What ! (exclaimed the king) am I not his elder brother, the chief of his family" "Yes, Sire, but ycu speak not as a brother, you speak and would act as a king, and you are not the chief of monarchs. Burn your letter." Marceau. " Marceau was clever and good, and of great promise, but he had little experience before he fell." Moreau. "No great things." Augereau. Ditto. Junot. Ditto, Gouvion St. Cyr. " A clever man and a good officer, but deficient in enterprise and vigour." Macdonald. "Too regular, too methodical; an excellent man, but not a great general." Ney. "No extent of capacity; but he was unfortunate ; he is dead." Victor. "An old woman ; quite incapable." Jourdan. "Not capable of leading large armies." Massena. "Excellent in great danger; negligent and of no goodness out of danger. Knew war well." Marmont. " Understands the theory of war perfectly. History will tell what he did with his knowledge." (This was accompanied with a sardonic smile.) Regnier, "An excellent officer." (I denied this, and gave Soult the history of his operations at Sabugal.) Soult replied that he was considered to be a great officer in France; but it what I Laid could not be controverted as to fact, he was not a great officer, his reputation was unmerited. (The facts were correctly stated, but Regnier was certainly dis affected to Napoleon at the time, his unskilful conduct might have been intentional.) Desaix. " Clever, indefatigable, always improving his mind, full of information about his profession, a great soldier, a noble character in all points of view ; perhaps not amongst the greatest generals by nature, but likely to become so by study and practice, when he was killed." Kleber. "Knew him perfectly; colossal in body, colos sal in mind. He was the god of war ; Mars in human shape. He knew more than Hoche, more than Desaix ; he was a greater general, but he was idle, indolent, he would not work," Berthier and Clarke. "Old v; omen—Catins. The Em peror knew them and their talents; they were fit for tools, machines, good for writing dowit his orders, and making arrangements according to rule ; he employed them for nothing else. Bah 1 they were very pcor. I could do their work as well or better than they could, but the Emperor was too wise to employ a man of my character at a desk ; knew I could control and tame wild men, and be employed me to do so." A FEMALE FEDERAL SPY.—The Detroit Tribune narrates the adventure of a Miss Pauline Cushman, who has been engaged as a Federal spy. It seems that Miss Cushman is an actress, and fell under suspicion at Louisville from having consorted with "rebel" officers. She was arrested, but she stoutly denied that she was a " rebel." In order to teat the love for the old flag, she was asked if she would enter the secret service of the Government. She readily consented, and was at once employed to carry letters between Louisville and Nash ville. She was subsequently employed by General Rose. crane, and was for many months with the Army of the Cumberland. She visited the rebel lines time after time, and was thoroughly acquainted with all the country and roads in Tennessee, .Northern Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, in which sectioZie she rendered our armies invaluable service. She was twice suspected of being a spy, and taken prisoner, but managed to escape. At last, however, she w as not so for),,unate. After our forces had captured Nashville, Miss Cus:unan made a scout towards Shelbyville to obtain ieformaal i cn of the strength sad position of the enemy, and, while i - eturning to Nashville, was captured on the Hardin Pike, eleven miles from the latter city. She was placed on a ho, - se, and, in charge of two scouts, was being taken to Spring hill, the head-quarters of Forrest. While on the way to this place, she feigned sickness, and said she could not travel any further without falling from her horse. Her captors stopped at a house on the roadside, when it was ascertained that a Federal scouting-party had passed the place an hour before. Knowing that her guards had im portant papers for General Bragg, the quick-witted spy seised the fact and schemed to use it to her advantage. Seeing an old negro, who appeared to commiserate her unfortunate plight, she watched her opportunity and placed ten dollars in Tennessee money in his hand, saying, ' Run up the road, uncle, and come back in a few minutes, telling us that 400 Feoerals are coming down the street.' The faithful negro obeyed the order literally, and soon came back in the greatest excitement, telling the story. The two rebels' told him he lied. The old coloured man got down on his knees, saying—' Massa, dey's cumin, sure nuff; de Lord help us, dey is cumin.' The scouts at this believed his story, mounted their horses, and skedaddled for the woods. Miss Cushman, seizing a pistol belonging to a wounded soldier in the house, also mounted her horse and fled towards Franklin. She travelled through the rain, and after nightfall lost her way. Soon came the challenge of a picket, ' Who comes there ?' Thinking she had reached the rebel liae, she said, A friend of Jeff. Davis.' All right,' was the reply, Advance and give the countersign.' She pre sented the countersign in the shape of a canteen of whisky. She passed five pickets in this way, but the sixth and last was obdurate. She pleaded that she was going to see a sick uncle at Franklin, but the sentry couldn't see it. Sick and disheartened, she turned back, Seeing a light at a farmhouse, she sought shelter. An old man received her kindly, showed her to a room, an d said he would awake her at an early hour in the morning, and show her the road to Franklin. A loud knock awoke her in the morning from her Lethean slumbers, and upon arousing she found her horse saddled and the two guards from whom she had escaped the previous afternoon. She was taken to the head-quarters of Forrest, and he sent her, after a critical examination, to General Bragg. Nothing could be found against her until a secesh woman stole her gaiters, under the inner sole of which were found important documents which clearly proved her to be a spy. She was tried and condemned to be executed as a spy, but being sick, her execution was postponed, She finally, after lying in prison three months, sent for General Bragg, and asked him if he had no mercy. She received from him the comforting assurance that he should make an example of her, and that he should hang her as soon as she got well enough to be hung decently. While in this state of suspense, the grand army of Rose crans commenced its forward movement and one fine day the rebel town where she was imprisoned was sur prised and captured, and the heroine of thie tale was re leased," POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE.-Mr William Marshall, of No. 4, Paper-buildings, Temple, ani Mr George Ennis Vivian, of No. 5, Clarence-street, Greenwich, were charged before Knox with being drunk and fighting in Regent street. Inspector Wilson, C division, said—On Saturday evening about a quarter-past 10, while in company of Inspector Silverton, I saw a crowd of persons in Regent-street, and on going up found the two defendants fighting tegether in the roadway. I heard a gentleman say to Marshall " Give it to him. Let him have it." Marshall then struck Vivian, who fell and was quite stunned by the blow, and could not stand. Both defendants had been drinking—Vivian the worst of two. I took Marshall into custody, and Silverton took Vivian. Inspector Silverton—l was with Inspector Wilson and siw the defendants fighting. I heard Marshall say after striking Vivian, That will settle him." Mr Marshall said—l had dined at Verey's with a friend. and so far from being intoxicated we had only had one bottle of champagne between us. On passing down Regent • street I was grossly insulted by Vivian. I immediately turned round and struck Vivian, ane after a few blows had been exchanged I knocked Vivian down. The police then e goe up and without knowing anything of the cause abused me. On arrivin; at the station they refused to admit my friend: Vivian also abused me at the station, and although I claimed the protection of the acting inspector, no notice was taken. One of the inspectors said I was "no gentle man." All I have stated I have a friend in court to corroborate. Sergeant Basen, a:ting inspector at Vine-street Police station, said—On the defendants being brought in and charged I took the charge in the usual way. Vivian was was drank, but the other was not, although he had been drinking. The defendant Marshall wanted bail, and bail was taken at a quarter past 11. No person appealed to him for protection, neither did he hear either of the inspectors say Marshall was "no gentleman." Mr. Marshall—l'll swear the expression was made use of. When it was found who I was they altered their tone, and were quite respectful. Mr Knox—ls it not the case, Mr Marshall, the, having been dining, and having taken a glass of wine or two, you were excited—the more so, as you allege you were insulted ? What was the nature of the insult ? Mr Marshall—l had taken no more wine than usual, and was not excited. Vivian put his hand on my person as I was walking arm-in-arm with my friend. Vivian—l had been drinking too much, and was aot accountable for my actions. Mr Knox—lf you are guilty of what Mr Marshall states, it is a most abominable thing. Major Ray, of 2, Queen's-gate-place, Kensington, said— I had been with Mr Marshall in the country all day, and after dining at Verey's we were walking down Regent street. Suddenly Mr Marshall left my arm, and then came back, saying " That man has indecently assaulted me." Mr Marshall then knocked Vivian down, and I think acted quite right. I should have done so myself. Mr Knox—As a magistrate I cannot say that. Mr Mar shall should have given Vivian into custody. Major Ray—l was telling the inspectors what happened when they came up, but they refused to hear me. At the station-house they refused to hear me, telling me that I must wait till I got before the magistrate. They were very uncivil. On offering to bail Mr Marshall they said they could only do so en seeing my last receipt for poor-rates. I told them I did not carry it about in my pocket, and then left and got a person to bail Marshall. Mr Knox—l shall discharge Marshall. Having been subjected to such an insult as he states, it was a most natural thing for him to do as he did. With reference to any incivility from the police, all they saw was two men fighting and one knock down the other. Mr Marshall—They treated me like a pickpocket, and it was at my own suggestion I went to the station. Mr. Marshall then left the bar, and was examined as a witness. He said—l was walking arm-in-arm with Major Ray, when I suddenly felt a man run against me and put his hand on my person. I said, " You scoundrel." I struck Vivian, the man, and knocked him down. The police— Mr Knox—lf you are aggrieved at the conduct of the police you can apply to Sir R. Mayne. Mr Marshall—l will swear the inspector sail I was no gentleman. Mr Knox—Was Vivian drunk ? Mr Marshall—l should say he was. Vivian—No one more regrets what has happened than myself. Mr Knox—You get drunk, commit an indecent assault, and afterwards in fighting you are knocked down. I can not justify Mr Marshall's doing that, but I think every body will say his conduct was excusable under the circum stances. I shall order Vivian to find one bail in £5O to keep the peace for 6 months, and he may think himself fortunate he is not at the sessions. WESTMINSTER. VIOLENT ASSAULT ON THE POLICE.—Henry Oliver, a painter, was charged before Mr Selfe, with violently assaulting Constables Leonard 57 B, and Archer, 97 B. The evidence of 57 B, showed that about 12 o'clock last night the constables were on d uty at Knightsbridge, when they saw a crowd collected. The prisoner, who wao drunk, was quarrelling with another man. Witness endeavoured to induce him to go away. As he refused, and he was causing a great disturbance, witness told him that if he did not go away he should be obliged to take him to the station. He then threw himself on the pavement and kicked about. At this time witness's sergeant came up and assisted him (witness) to take him to the station house. After they had got a short distance the prisoner again:flung himself down, when the mob rushed upon witness and the sergeant and kicked them. Another con stable then came up, when the prisoner, after much trouble, was overcome. Archer, 97 B, corroborated the evidence, and added that the stretcher had to be sent for, and that the prisoner had to be fastened to it. He was then quietly taken to the station house. The prisoner said he was very sorry for what he had brie, and that he was very drunk, or the assault would not have happened. He had been previously assaulted by one of the mob, and was defending himself when the constable came up. He was very sorry, and it was the first time he had been in custody. The prisoner was fined 155., or, in default, 14 days in the House of Correction. THAMES. A COWARDLY SCOUNDREL.—James Buckley, a tall young man, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Elliot charged with assaulting Mrs. Emily Wheeler, a married woman, of No. 2, Upper Grove-street, Commercial-road, East.

She screamed aloud for help, and he threw her down, hit her on the back, and kicked her. When she remonstrated with him he called her a prostitute and other bad names. A. policeman came up and he was given into custody. The prisoner--I did not strike you. Complainant—Yes, you did. The prisoner—Where and how ? Complainant—You hit me with your fist on the back.

CORONER'S INQUEST,-THIS DAY. _ - Mr. St. Clair Ihdlord, the coroner for West• minster, opened an inquiry this day at the Charing.. cross 11)spital on the body of one of the suff,trers from this fatal calamily—Mr. Esau Trigg, of who expired at this instit u ti on on Fri he injuries he received when th e coll i sion dolyiugtrhrroteom: Mr. L. Crombie, solicitor to the South Western Railway Company, and Mr. Edward Clarke ftp. peared on lath tlf of the brothers of the deceased ; and Mr. Rawlins appeared for Lee and Trainer, the driver and fireman of the trains. The jury having been empanneled, proceeded to view the body, and on their retarn to the inquest- room, The coroner said he merely intended on this occa sion to open the proceedings, in order that the rela. tions of the deceased might remote and inter the body. Henry Trigg said—l reside at High•street Wandsworth. The deceased, Esua Trigg, is my brother. He was 40 years of age, and carried on business as Brighton as a licensed victualler. I know nothing further. I was not present at my brother's death. Dr. Canton, of 30 Montague-place, and surgeon to the Charing-cross Hospital, said, I saw the de• ceased soon alter his admission to the hospital. He Was suffering from a severe contusion on the right elbow, and a lacerated contusion on the left one. Four of the lower ribs on the right side wer e broken, and the lungs had been externally rup tured. The whole of the right leg was Beverly brused. There was a fracture of both bones of that leg close below the knee-joint. That was the ex• tent of the injuries. I attended to the deceased until his death, which occurred on Friday last, at half-past one in the morning. About two hours before his death symptoms of coiapse occurred. The body having been identified, the inquest was then adjourned until the 27th inst. THE YELVERTON CASE. HOUSE OF LORDS. TELVERTON V. LOSGWORTH (OR YELVERTON). Sir Hugh Cairns, this morning, on the part of the appel lant, maintained that the Irish marriage was invalid under the Act which made marriage null and void between a professing Roman Catholic and a Protestant. The learned gentleman was proceeding when we went to press. Pepper's Ghosts, The spectators, seated on benches as in a theatre or lecture-room, see a stage in front of them, suitable for some kind of dramatic performance. Between them and the stage is a sunken chamber, the floor sor 6 feet below the level of the stage. The chamber is open at the top, but the opening is con cealed from the audience by suitably arranged boards and screens. Behind the sunk chamber, and at the front edge of the stage, is set up a large plate of plain or unsilvered glass, inclining for ward a little at the top, and so cnvironed with painted scenery, as to induce the observer to lose sight of the fact, that he is looking at the stage through a glass. Living actors, dressed up in any way at pleasure, are in the sunken chamber, with a very strong lime-light or other light• shining on them from lamps properly placed ; the actors and the lamps being equally concealed from the audience by screens. The strong rays from the illuminated figures strike up in a slanting direction against the glass, and are then reflected to the audience. The glass has such an inclination given to it, that this reflection shall be visible to the spectators generally. The effect produced, though scientifically plain enough, is practically very surprising. Supposing a young actress, dressed as a theatrically beau. tiful sylph or nymph, to be properly placed in the sunken chamber, and an intense lime-light shining on her, we see the reflected sylph in the glass ; but not knowing that there Is any glass there, we seem to see a brilliant real sylph on the stage. If the actress-sylph, the living person in the sunken chamber, smiles or makes any gestures, the phantom sylph on the stage does the same; if she sings or speaks, we hear the sounds, and see the lips of the phantom moving. If the light of the lamps is made gradually to go out, the phantom disappears like a dissolving view; and if a trap-door suddenly silently closes the top of the sunken chamber, the phantom disappears instantly. r mi g a e : n If the lady walks away from the sunken chambe r , s a o nd do t e h s en t , h i e f phantomanactor, walk away dressed, should appear on the stage, he may seem to say from a os a theag stica per form a little drama with the phantom, if distances and lights are properly adjusted. True, he cannot see the phantom himself; but he is guided towards i ts a pparent position by marks, cues, or clues of some kind. If the glass does not extend all across the stage, he may pass from behind to the front of an openi ng a t th e s id e , w i t h ou t it, or vice versa, by the spectators detecting either the glass er the ab sence of it ; and he may thus carry on the details of many a curious dramatic plot wieh the phantom. If there are two or more actors and actresses in the sunken chamber, and two or more on the visible stage, the by-play may be greatly varied, and the effect wonderfully increased. If one of the actors in the sunken chamber is a sculptured statue or a plaster bust instead of a living person, a diversity of result follows from combining the phantom of a living being with the phantom of the copy of a living being.— Chambers's Journal.
